No I know, but I’m not allowed to suggest what the majority of leave voters thought without having spoken to them all. So on that basis surely a poll needs to have asked everyone also.

Well no, because statistics don’t work like that.

If you could show that you’ve spoken to a statistically representative number of the whole population of leavers, you could make that claim. Saying you’ve seen a few posts on planetswans and spoken to people you know probably doesn’t really cover it on balance.

Well to be fair at least the polls, as unreliable as they can sometimes be, have some statistical science behind them. A bit different to you extrapolating the opinion of all leave voters from people on here and elsewhere.

So a poll of a thousand people over the space of a few hours can be deemed sufficient enough to judge the opinion of the entire nation but 3 years of talking to people can’t give someone an idea of people feelings. 👍

A poll of a thousand people over a few hours, statistically weighted to provide a demographic representation of the UK electorate is indeed a better estimate of national opinion than you talking to your mates, colleagues and reading planet swans and other websites. Yes, I’m comfortable enough stating that to be a truism.

I work all over the country, I use more sites than just planetswans, listen to the radio and watch tv. I think I’ve heard the opinion of quite a lot of people over the last 3 years. The suggestion all leave voters thought negotiations were gonna be a piece of piss just because it was said during the leave campaign is pathetic, and totally wrong.

Yep.

People get taught about it in a big building called ‘school’.

Nonsense. There’s a very good reason why polls can’t be trusted and you’ve just explained why.

Fine. You still haven’t spoken to a statistically representative part of the population.

Don’t be ridiculous Jango - you’re not as stupid as this. Changing what you said doesn’t help your cause.

That’s what’s known as another referendum. Glad you finally agree.

I suppose the only outcome will be if BJ gets his General Election win with a working majority and passes a law to leave the EU or any agreement in its current form would negate the need for another referendum as Parliamentary Law would be legally binding?

So ..... the multi-million/billion pound established uk polling industry is really just a waste of time, because going forward you can just tell us all what you think - thus saving both time and money.

Well myself and others were called thick c***s by the usuals on here for suggesting leave would win the referendum even though the polls suggested otherwise. It still hurts them.
